DIANE VON FURSTENBURG // FW 2012

Being able to attend the Diane von Furstenburg show at Lincoln Center was like something out of a dream. Diane herself is such an icon, such an inspiration and a beautiful person overall. Just hearing her name gives me chills. The music, the models, the striking colors, and the strong silhouettes all came together for one amazing show. I really didn't want it to end. Elegant, seductive, and easy. Those are the three words I would use to describe the clothing. DVF designs for the strong, independent woman at heart, exactly what the designer herself resonates inside and out. A reflection of this in the show was all the bold hues and color blocking techniques. At the end of the show, Diane waked the entire runway with a huge smile on her face and Whitney Houston blasting from the speakers. A bittersweet moment indeed. I left the show feeling so happy and so lucky to be a part of fashion week. I felt like I was 5 years old again when I came across my very first fashion magazine, pointed at a picture, and just knew that this is what I wanted to be a part of. An unreal sense of déjà vu for sure. The best feeling in the world.

This blog has followed me along the entire way. Now I do it all via DYLANA/SUAREZ. Born and raised in sunny Southern California but currently based out of NYC (since May 2013) after a two year layover in Philadelphia. Fashion is what makes me wake up in the morning.
